Episode 429 — Auburn’s Bruce Pearl

Auburn’s Bruce Pearl has the Tigers off to a tremendous 14-2 start but knows the next two weeks will tell him a lot about his team. How efficiency, defense, and rebounding have been the backbone of their success. With his team being so deep this year, how will he decide who plays in crunch time? Discussing how the transfer rules have become unclear and why it’s a “flee not fight” mentality now. Coach is closing in on becoming the winningest head coach at Auburn… Does he think about that? Is getting to a Final Four the true measure of a successful season? And does he believe this team have the requisites to make a deep run in March? Plus, eight of last week’s AP top 10 teams all lost to unranked opponents! Could we have a new number one? And freshman is starting to emerge for Kansas.
